Big Blue Diamonds
Love's Dilemma: Big Blue Diamonds and the Price of Desire
Lyrics
Big diamonds, big blue diamonds, on her finger
Large diamonds, specifically big blue diamonds, adorned on her finger
(On her finger)
Reiteration of the diamonds being on her finger
Yes, 'stead of a little band of gold
Instead of a small ring made of gold
(Big blue diamond)
Emphasis on the significance of the big blue diamond
Big diamonds (big blue diamonds)
Emphasis on the presence of large diamonds
Big blue diamonds (big blue diamonds)
Reiteration, highlighting the blue diamonds
Tell a story of the love
These diamonds convey a tale about a love that only one man could possess
That the one man could ever hold
Expressing the uniqueness of the love represented by the diamonds
(Of them all)
Clarification that this love story stands out among all others
She wanted more than I had money to buy
The woman desired more than the singer could afford
So she left me, then got lonesome, I am told
Resulting in her departure and subsequent loneliness
Big diamonds, blue diamonds
Reiteration of the big blue diamonds
Now she'll trade them in
Now she plans to exchange these diamonds
For love behind little band of gold
For the affection found in a smaller, gold ring
(Little diamonds)
Reference to smaller diamonds
Big diamonds (big diamonds)
Reemphasis on the significance of large diamonds
Big blue diamonds (big blue diamonds)
Specifically highlighting the importance of big blue diamonds
How they sparkle
Commenting on their sparkle but questioning their ability to provide emotional warmth
But what can they do to warm your soul?
Reflection on the inability of diamonds to comfort when feeling lonely
(Warm her soul)
Reiterating the emotional lack of warmth from diamonds
When you're lonesome in the moonlight
When feeling lonely during the night
Want the lovin', yes
Longing for love, indicating a desire for affection
Big as diamonds (diamonds)
Comparing the size of the diamonds to express their grandeur
They're blue diamonds (diamonds)
Emphasizing the blueness of the diamonds, possibly hinting at sadness
They're so wreckless and cold
Describing the diamonds as reckless and devoid of warmth
(Big blue diamonds)
Reiteration of the cold nature of big blue diamonds
I'd gladly do my part to mend her broken heart
Expressing willingness to help heal her emotional pain
But the last one over grows cold
However, acknowledging that eventually, even this effort will grow cold
Big diamonds (diamonds)
Emphasis on the large size of the diamonds
Big blue diamonds (blue diamonds)
Reiteration of the significance of big blue diamonds
I don't want them, no-no
Expressing a lack of desire for these diamonds
I just want a love behind a band of gold.
Preferably wanting love symbolized by a small band of gold
(A band of gold)
Reiterating the desire for love symbolized by a band of gold
